Normally scorekeep is either getting 10 bucks or so, or logging community service hours for scholarship purposes.

No - I'm not NORMALLY getting $115 - but I have occasionally. Normally, it's a little less than half that. Sometimes as low as a third of that.

My sarcasm was merely meant to point out that you seemed to make a lot of assumptions on your previous post when you said, "It is almost always a player..." (I've never had it be a player. Not once.) And when you said, "you really don't have an "official scorer""... and I ALWAYS do.

Using the home team person, if you can separate them from the crowd and give them the speech, actually works quite well. Can't see why you couldn't get them to implement it where you are.
